Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2021 Bottom trawling results in widespread impacts to the structure and composition of benthic communities. Although an ecosystem approach to fisheries management aims to conserve marine biodiversity and ecosystem function, there remains a lack of empirical ...

Impact and distribution of bottom trawl fishing on mud-bottom communities in the Kattegat [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2016 The Kattegat in the inner Danish waters has been trawled for at least 80 yr, but so far only few attempts have been made to quantify the trawl effort, its spatial distribution and its potential ecological impact on the benthic fauna. GIS-analyses of VMS-data from trawling in the Kattegat by both Danish (2005-2009) and Swedish (2007-2009) vessels show ...

Bottom trawl fishing footprints on the world’s continental shelves [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Significance We conducted a systematic, high-resolution analysis of bottom trawl fishing footprints for 24 regions on continental shelves and slopes of five continents and New Zealand. The proportion of seabed trawled varied >200-fold among regions (from 0.4 to 80.7% of area to a depth of 1,000 m).

Ecological Indicators, 2023 The ecosystem approach to fisheries management needs information of not just where bottom trawlers operate but also on their impact on the seabed, which is also highly relevant to the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor D6, seafloor ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Bottom trawling has widespread impact on the structure and composition of benthic communities. In this study, soft-bottom macrofauna in a heavily trawled area and an adjacent marine park that has been closed to bottom trawling for more than ten years ...

Marine Environmental Research, 2021 Experimental benthic dredging was conducted in an unfished, muddy area in the Baltic Proper to mimic the impact of trawling by removing surface sediment, with a focus on benthic biogeochemical processes.

Influence of bottom and sand curtain on hydrodynamic performance of otter boards
Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2023 Numerical simulation is an important method for calculating the hydrodynamic performance of otter boards used in sea floor trawling. Although such simulations have been explored in prior studies, the effects of the proximity of the otter boards to the ...

Science of the Total Environment, 2021 Submarine canyons are preferential pathways for transport of particulate matter and contaminants from the shelf to the deep sea. The Gulf of Palermo continental margin has a very narrow shelf (about 2-3 km wide on average) and is incised by several ...
